Chicken Il Monello
Description
This recipe for Chicken Il Monello involves roasting quartered Yukon Gold potatoes and red bell pepper seasoned with salt and pepper until tender and golden brown. Chicken breast and thigh pieces, along with Italian sweet sausage, are browned in oil to develop color and flavor. Sliced garlic is sautéed until golden before combining the meat with the roasted vegetables, butter, white wine, salt, pepper, and chicken stock in a sauté pan. This mixture finishes cooking in a hot oven, melding the flavors and ensuring the meat is juicy and well-seasoned.
The roasting of the potatoes and peppers impart a soft interior and crisped edges, while the sausage and chicken add savory depth and richness. The butter and white wine contribute a smoothness and complexity to the pan sauce, balanced with a touch of acidity from lemon juice, making the dish satisfying and balanced.
This dish is suitable as a main course served on its own or alongside simple greens. It can be prepared on a sheet pan and stovetop with minimal cleanup. The timing allows you to cook vegetables and meat separately before bringing them together for a final oven finish, ensuring each component is cooked optimally.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
- 1 chicken thigh cut into bite size pieces
- 1 red bell pepper
- 4 Yukon Gold potatoes quartered, small
- 1 Italian sweet sausage cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 ounces white wine
- 4 ounces chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon butter

Instructions
- Cut up the chicken, sausage, potatoes and peppers into roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes.
- Spread potatoes and peppers onto a sheet pan with a drizzle of oil, along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Put the tray into a preheated oven at 375° F (190° Celsius) for 35 minutes mixing halfway.
- Take a medium sized sauté pan and drizzle 2 ounces (60ml) of oil, making sure the oil is hot, then put both the chicken and sausage into the pan until the chicken and sausage starts getting a golden color.
- After 35 minutes, remove the potato and pepper mixture from the oven, the potatoes should be both soft on the inside and golden on the outside.
- Put 2 gloves of fresh sliced garlic in the pan. Once the garlic is golden, toss in the roasted potatoes and peppers mixture as well as an ounce of butter, then add in white wine, salt, pepper and chicken stock and combine.
- Once combined, take the sauté pan, and put in a 450° degrees F (230° C) oven for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes take the pan out of the oven and finish back on the stove for 2 minutes. Finishing with a squeeze of lemon.
- Once you start seeing the sauce get thicker turn the stove off, and you have yourself an Il Monello chicken. Enjoy!
